Distributed Redundancy in Two-Layer Threshold Logic Networks

This paper contains a description of a method which can be used to select redundant threshold logic units on the basis of system considerations rather than the duplication of existing units. This mathematical technique consists of iteratively selecting redundant threshold logic units for the first layer of a two-layer threshold logic network. Use of the technique is illustrated in the solution of simple problems, and it is shown that fewer units are required for single error correction than would be needed if existing units were duplicated.
